How many hours do you sleep per day?

**Mels_Smileys45** · March 25th, 2009, 04:40 PM

Lately a lot. I use to get about 5 hours a day but now its about 12

**A_mber** · March 25th, 2009, 04:50 PM

usually right at 8

**carpefile** · March 25th, 2009, 05:02 PM

I get 4 to 6 hr.s

There's always too much to do to get more than that.

Every once in a while I get a solid 8 on a sat/sun.

Try to get 8 hours, and if I go too many days without it my productivity drops so severely I may as well sleep in. From a scientific perspective people should be getting at least around 8 hours of sleep a day, otherwise they are over straining their bodies.

Yes sleep would be nice. Only get 4-6 hrs. Thankfully it more on the six side that the four.

it is a known fact that as we age, our amount of sleep required is less and I usually get by on about 5 to 5.5 hours per day.

That seems to be opposite for my mom. She must sleep like 10 hours every night.

i'll sleep when i'm dead.

I usually shoot for 8 hours, but end up getting about 6-7.

I remember when I was in my 20's and I could sleep 12 hours straight without getting up to piss. Those were the days!!

physical conditioning tends to reduce the amount of sleep one may need.

I've heard that there's a very small segment of the population that only needs 2-3 hours of sleep per night. I have only met a couple in passing, but it must be strange only requiring so little sleep.

As for me, I usually stick around the 8-9 hour mark. There are days when I wind up only getting 5 hours of sleep, but I always try and make up for it by finding a day close by where I can sleep about 10 hours given that, to my knowledge, it's unhealthy to purposely deprive oneself of sleep (I think I remember hearing once that it can actually lead to a shorter life actually)

So I try and stick with what seems to be the natural amount of sleep since it seems to be the healthy thing to do.
